What's the training like？
People have to train for a year to learn how to stay healthy and safe.They practise space walking and living in zero gravity（重力）.They train in difficult conditions to learn how to solve problems and to work in a team.Everyday tasks like eating，washing and sleeping can be difficult on a spaceship.There is no running water so you have to wash with wet tissues：it's hard to enjoy the dry food that astronauts have to eat.And to sleep you must cover your eyes because the sun rises every 90 minutes on the International Space Station.You also have to tie yourself to something so you don't fly away!
What health problems do astronauts have？
Life in zero gravity causes changes to our bodies.Bones and muscles（肌肉）become thin and weak so you must do a lot of exercise in space to stay fit and to help the heart move blood around your body.Astronauts often get backache because you grow in space— up to 8 centimeters!It's also common to have headaches and to feel sick，especially at the beginning.You must have vitamins to take the place of fresh fruit and vegetables.But you don't have to put on sun cream because space suits can protect your skin （皮肤）.

28．（10分）When I arrived，it was early morning and it was raining.I looked to the east﹣the sky was becoming grey.I got out of the car，went through a gate and walked along a dark path.There was nothing to seeit was there.
After about a mile，a stranger appeared beside the path." Am I going the right way？"I asked.He knew where I was going."Yes，"he replied，I came to some rocks and stopped.I looked over them，but it was silent and there was no sign of it.
Suddenly，the rain stopped and the clouds cleared.The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks.Far below me，the ground fell away and down to a river.I was looking across one of the wonders of the natural world﹣the Grand Canyon.
I looked down to the Colorado River，a silver stream nearly one mile below me.If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon，they still would not reach the top.Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon.It was about fifteen miles away，I looked to my left and to my right，and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200 miles.The Grand Canyon was not just big.It was huge!
I remained by the canyon for about half an hour，and I asked myself， "Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder of the natural world？" I certainly know the answer.What do you think？
（1）What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph1 refer to？
（2）From which sentence can we know how wide the wonder is？
